Brighton Main Line: Fares
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what comparative assessment he has made of the benefits and savings available to commuters travelling from Brighton to London and back in a day using (a) a flexible season season ticket and (b) single tickets with a network card; and if he will make a statement.
- Answer
-
The flexible season ticket is a national product, priced to provide better value and convenience for commuters travelling two to three days a week.
For most 2 and 3 day a week commuters, the flexible season ticket will offer savings against buying daily tickets or traditional seasons, provided that they are following this commuting pattern.
For those with different commuting patterns, existing tickets such as traditional seasons or dailies may be the best choice.
Commuters should always consider which product best suits their journey and travel pattern. This is easier than ever with the updated season ticket calculator.
